NextCloud installation or simpler alternatives?

Hello,
I am trying to run NextCloud on a jail in my RPi3B+. I expected that running
pkg install nextcloud
would have installed all dependencies and base configurations, leaving me to fine-tune the system, but apparently that's not the case.

Do you know where I can find a guide to install it? Or, if that's too complex/big for a small device as a RPi, if you know an alternative providing also client for mobile OSes?

Thank you for your attention.
 
You should probably read the pkg-message that comes with it; pkg info -D nextcloud

Install en Freebsd

Hi. I am trying to install Nextcloud on a FREBSD 13 server. I have tried many configuration examples on the internet. But I don’t get it to work. Is there an official manual for the installation? For server operation have installed FreeBSD nginx php7 Thanks for the help. Regards.

Running Nextcloud in a jail on FreeBSD

I configured Nextcloud inside a FreeBSD jail in order to allow me access to files i might need while at University. I figured this would be a optimal solution for files that I might need access to unexpectedly, on computers where I am not in complete control. My Nextcloud instance is externally...

Otherwise there is NextcloudPi which runs on top of a Debian:

NextcloudPi is an open-source Nextcloud self-hosting software for Raspberry Pi devices

Personal opinion, Nextcloud on a RPI4 feels sloppy, even with few component disabled(calendar, tasks, talk, mail, etc ...), so to me the experience is kind of meh.
RPI is nice for experiments but running GUI apps isn't where it shines, but this is just me ;) I know that some enjoy it as a desktop.
 
If you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles Nextcloud offers, then running Owncloud on the Raspi is a great alternative. It also performs much better on the limited hardware.

I bet the installation procesd is the same and therefore confuses nidnerp all the same.

nidnerp:
What you want to do is:
pkg -j <jailname> install nextcloud-php83
and then just follow the official nextcloud docs.
I'd assume the same goes for owncloud.

Thank you! But are you using NextCloud client? Because I am trying running the server on the RPi

Hey victort! Thank you for your suggestion! I am *NOT* looking forward to manually editing configuration files :D that's a great option!

Well, it’s one file with perhaps 7 lines. It consists of your IP, gateway, and path where you want to store the files “outside” of the jail. Easy enough.

Anyway, you might want to try

Code: 
pkg install nextcloud-php83
 
Never used and never needed to. NFS share combine with Syncthing it is everything I need.
If you spice it with barrier it feels like one workstation.

I know that: I also use just SSH+git for my Emacs-based Zettelkasten.

Reason I would like NextCloud is I can consult some text documents from my phone. Unfortunately, Synchthing app for iOS isn't very appealing.

Would you tell me more about your experience? Maybe I miss something and, as I said to victort , in 2024 having no installation process isn't really nice 🙃
